“According to the Census of 1831 there were 7,567,456 people in Ireland. 958 of these lived in Crumlin: 455 in the village. There were 155 houses here then, and a Catholic school with 70 pupils ‘close by the Roman Catholic Church.’ This school was a two story structure of local limestone” – Frank Oman, ‘From the “Star” to the village in 1831’, in ‘Chat’, Nov./Dec. 1971.
The lime-washed building was replaced by a new national school in 1914 a little to its right – Finola Watchorn , ‘Crumlin and the way it was’.
